crawled across Chicago bars last night searching for the bottom of the bottle:
"Anyone who found the devestation of the WTC immoral and who now

invades Iraq too "to stop an influx of refugees
into Turkey and to prevent what he called 'terrorist activity'", a US bomb allegedly
injures two
hitting an Iranian oil depot.
In America: "This is the only son I had"; the
UK proposes a security council resolution giving the US/UK rights to govern Iraq.

"
At some point, you have to trust your president!" Really, at some point you'd think
he'd try earning some.
